Tanabata Festival Limited Extra: Tony's Dating Battle (Part I)!
"Hmph~Hmph~Humm~"
Pepper hummed a little tune and cleaned up the papers at her desk.
The reason why she is in a good mood is not because she is about to get off work, but because Tony Stark, who is either flying around the world or soaking in the laboratory every day to tinker with things, suddenly invited her to go on a date today.
I packed everything up, changed my clothes in the rest room, made up my makeup, and slowly walked downstairs.
Just now Tony sent a message saying that he was waiting for her downstairs.
"Why is Miss Pepper so beautiful today?"
"Is it because I met my beloved, I think I might have guessed correctly."
As soon as he went downstairs, Tony's flirtatious voice reached Pepper's ears.
As soon as he looked up, Tony was walking towards her with open arms.
"I just want to make sure my boyfriend is still alive?"
Pepper hugs Tony.
"Eh, Tony, where is your little belly?"
Suddenly, Pepper asked with some surprise.
"In order to save the world, I have been working hard to cultivate every day, and my little belly has long become an abdominal muscle."
Tony said proudly, completely forgetting what it looked like to be dead or alive in the gym.
"Yes, will you be able to fight evil naked like Captain America in the future?"
Pepper asked with a smile.
"Don't be stupid, Captain America still has a shield."
Tony retorted.
"Besides, it's a rich man's characteristic that I fight criminals like this, okay?"
"Like Batman?"
"yes, just like Batman."
"Okay, so Mr. Batman, where are we going next?"
Pepper then asked.
"Keep it secret, you just need to follow me honestly, get in the car."
"Also, I'm a lot more fun than Batman."
"Yes, yes, you're right."
The two got into the car and left.

"The character has successfully received the target and is heading to point A, and point A receives it, please answer."
"The character has successfully received the target and is heading to point A, and point A receives it, please answer."
"Received at point A, ready to go."
"Received at point A, ready to go."

"Oh, what day is it, is Chinatown so lively?"
"So that's where today's date is?"
Pepper looked curiously at the crowded Chinatown, which was full of lanterns.
The most eye-catching thing is a huge painting on the street in which a man and a woman hold hands and stand on a bridge made of a flock of birds to admire the moon.
"That's right, today is the Chinese Qixi Festival, and it is also the Chinese's Valentine's Day."
"Every year today, there are a lot of lively events going on in Chinatown."
Tony explains to Pepper.
"In Chinese legend, the daughter of their immortal king fell in love with an ordinary man..."
Tony and Pepper talked as they walked.
"Like the Thor you told me about?"
"Oh, I have to say you're a great analogy! Yes, just like them. ”
Tony gave two thumbs up and gave Pepper a thumbs up.
"But the fairy's mother would not allow her daughter to be with an ordinary person, so she took her daughter back to heaven and made a heavenly river with a hairpin to block them on both sides."
"The heavenly river that the fairy's mother drew is the Milky Way above us."
"Oh, that fairy's mother is too powerful."
Pepper covered her mouth and said in surprise.
"Yes, but in the end, the fairy's mother was also touched by the feelings of the two people, and decided that they could meet once a year on the seventh day of the seventh month of the Chinese lunar calendar, and let the magpies build a bridge so that the two of them could cross the heavenly river."
"That's the origin of the Qixi Festival."
"What a romantic story, the two of them are still together in the end, it's really great."
"Most of the stories in the West are tragedies like Romeo and Juliet."
"I still like a happy ending."
After listening, Pepper sighed.
"Yes, only madmen love tragedy."
Tony chimed in.
"Tony, do you still know so many Chinese stories?"
"That is, all of this I am in the saint... The rest of the time learned. ”
Tony was so proud that he almost slipped out.
At this time, a panda puppet walks up to Tony and Pepper with a bucket of bamboo sticks.
"Sir, ma'am, do you want to draw a love lottery to see your future relationship?"
"No, I'm sorry, I don't believe in these ......"
"Okay, let's draw lots."
Tony interrupted Pepper and said with a smile.
Pepper glanced at Tony, but honestly pulled one out of the bamboo tube.
"What does this mean?"
After Tony and Pepper handed the sign in their hands to the panda puppet, Pepper asked.
"Wow, congratulations to the two of you, it's a match made in heaven, whether it's poverty, illness, or even death, it can't dissipate the love between the two of you."
"To reward you two for your unswerving love, here is a VIP map of today's Chinatown events."
"Go to the event location on the map, take out the map, you can enjoy VIP treatment for free."
"Have fun, then."
The Panda Muppet said, taking out a booklet from his stomach pocket and handing it to Pepper.
"yes, thank you then."
Pepper took the map with some hesitation, not understanding much about the situation.
"Hey, Tony, there seems to be a theatrical performance of the story you just talked about, and it is called Huangmei Opera, let's go and see it!"
Looking at the map, Pepper was quickly attracted to a location and said with great interest.
"OK, your will is all I have."
"Let's go, beautiful lady."
Tony makes an unstandard gentleman's salute and takes Pepper to the place where the opera is performed.
While Pepper wasn't paying attention, he secretly gave the panda puppet a thumbs up.
When Tony and Pepper are gone, the Panda Muppet takes off his hood and reveals the face of a pretty little girl.
"Ah, it's hot."
Erina fanned the wind with her hands, the weather was still hot this month, and although the night was better, it was still very hot in the puppet.
"Good work, Erina, drink some water."
Seiichi walked out of the alley and handed Erina a bottle of unscrewed mineral water.
"Thank you, Holy One-kun."
"But can you not go over there and watch?"
Taking the mineral water, Erina took a few sips and asked.
"It's okay, the people from S.H.I.E.L.D. are watching over there, and Qi Mu is taking care of the whole situation."
"I'll go to another place in a moment to see how the preparations are going."
Seiichi explained with a smile.
"By the way, why are S.H.I.E.L.D. involved, are they so idle?"
Erina asked curiously, and a vendor behind her also showed a bitter expression.
"Erina, it seems that you haven't realized how powerful the power of money is."
"Alas, all evil capitalism."
Seiichi sighed.
"Let's go, let's go to the next stage of preparation."
